Pots & Containers near Finchley

Pots & Containers

As we do not sell house plants, most of our pots and containers are aimed at outdoor use. You can choose from an excellent selection of terracotta or plastic ornamental tubs, pots and planters or the more basic professional styles associated with growing seedlings etc. Seed trays and propagators are also available for those of you who enjoy nurturing you plants right from seeds onwards.

Our sole terracotta supplier is one of the biggest in the country. Woodlodge provide us with a wide range of shapes, colours and finishes including glazed terracotta, plain terracotta and for a more lightweight alternative fiber clay. Woodlodge pots and containers are sourced from a wide variety of countries with the aim of offering their customers the best selection of styles, levels of quality and affordability. We are sometimes able to order specific models from the Woodlodge catalogue if what you require isn’t on the shelves.

We have a selection of the more common plastic plant pot, associated with growing, from a company named Stewart Garden Style. They also provide us with a good selection of ornamental containers in basic styles and some more decorative ones. Many plastic containers now come with very convincing faux granite or terracotta finishes.

These prove very popular for applications where weight is an issue, i.e. roof terraces and decking. Window boxes are very popular so we have a good selection of sizes available in three colours. Stewart also provides a selection of professional growing accessories such as seed trays and propagators.

Hanging baskets and mangers are supplied by Gardman. We have our best selection during the spring and summer months but retain a good selection all year. There are varying styles and sizes, some do not require liners and some do. Needless to say, a full selection of liners is on display with the baskets in our tub and pot aisle.

Plant guarantee & refund policy

We are committed to ensuring that we sell excellent quality plants at what we deem to be reasonable prices. Many of our plants are grown here on site which enables us to maintain quality control to a very high level. Other plants are supplied by trusted companies, many of which have been in business for decades. We are always available to advise customers on the correct care for plants pre-purchase.

Because of this confidence in our product we do not offer a plant guarantee. However should you experience a problem with your plant within six months of purchase we will consider either replacement, credit note or advise you on a course of action to take to resolve the issue. Should the plant need to be returned it must be accompanied with valid proof of purchase. A plant is a perishable good reliant on correct level of aftercare for survival. As such, after six months we relinquish responsibility for its nurturing & hand that duty 100% to the purchaser.

Refunds and exchanges

Should you change your mind about a ‘non plant’ product after purchase you may return it to us proving that the packaging has not been opened, the product has not been used, the product is still in saleable condition, with a valid receipt, within 28 days of purchase. Also, should the product be found to be faulty, it should be returned to us inside of 28 days with valid proof of purchase. Return or refund outside of 28 days may also be considered if the product meets the previous requirements stated.
Plant returns should be within 5 working days. The plant will need to be in exactly the same condition as it was at the time of purchase and accompanied with a valid receipt. You will be offered credit note, cost equivalent exchange, or refund to the method of payment.This will be at the discretion of management.

All refunds will be credited in the same fashion as initially received, i.e. if you paid by card, the refund will need to be issued to the same card. If you paid by cash, we can only offer a refund in cash.

We do not offer refunds or guarantees on any sale or stock clearance items.

Please keep your receipt as proof of purchase.

This does not affect your statutory rights.

Here is a calender showing roughly what times of year different plants are available.

Established in 1928

Not many Garden Centres can boast over ninety years of history, and yes, we have seen many changes over that period. Indeed change will continue as we strive always to supply the best in plants and facilities. One thing, however, will never change:

The core philosophy first introduced by Archibald John Mills way back in 1928 remains - the philosophy that built the company’s reputation, sustains it now, and will guide it in the future:

The best way to keep gardeners happy is to offer them plants of the highest quality, sold at reasonable prices.

Horticultural Trades Association

We are proud members of the HTA, the Horticultural Trades Association, which is ‘the’ UK’s garden trades association. The HTA has, for over 100 years, promoted the interests of its members and the industry at large.

Being a member offers us various benefits and for you, the customer, the membership should provide you with some reassurance that we are an establishment of quality that takes its responsibilities to its customers seriously.

It also enables us to offer you access to HTA backed schemes such as the national gift vouchers which are redeemable at other HTA partner businesses across the country.
